Hip-Hop, Videos | Accent — Everybody’s Crazy (feat. Kinetics) [Music Video Premiere]
Posted by jeffwbaird on February 28, 2013
It shouldn’t come as a surprise to you that I love introspective hip-hop—and man does this new Accent track take the cake. Amidst a genre primarily concerned with braggadocio and glorified false personas, Accent utilizes his singing skills to evoke this powerful jam about “accepting the imperfections that define us, and being proud of them.” The Kid Vision-produced single from his Sight & Sound EP features a verse from frequent collaborator Kinetics—whose internal rhyme-schemes become more impressive by the song—and impressive visuals courtesy of Hickory that highlight the song’s meaning and personal nature, which Accent eloquently described for us:
“The song recognizes that every human has their own unique qualities, yet it acknowledges that those differences between us are what make all of us the same; everyone struggles with their own experiences and identities. The sources of my own pain are very literally expressed here and every word is carefully recited making for a clear projection of the message. I reference my own issues regarding bi-raciality, growing up without a father and being almost obsessed with what I loved about my childhood but I also touch on my capacity for love and the purpose I have for existing. While “Everybody’s Crazy” comes from a sad place in my heart it encourages people to transform the negativity in their histories into a beautiful representation of the strength they have developed from it.”

Electro-House | Sidney Samson & Martin Garrix – Torrent
Posted by Middy on February 19, 2013
I have never been that big a fan of Sidney Samson with his bleepy dutch style being a little too abrasive for the ears and Martin Garrix seems like his a product of being very young and marketable with a good team putting his talent in front of the right people at the right time, however this song by the two of these Dutchmen is quite good. The track leaves behind Sidney Samson’s blistering bleeps and instead moves to more what we have seen with Martin Garrix with pitched saws, a big room interlude and a prominent buzzing low-end. Tiesto’s Musical Freedom rarely misses with its releases and “Torrent” is yet another example of that.

Indie, Pop | Blondfire – Where The Kids Are (Math Bishop Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 14, 2013
As hard as it is to believe, there comes a time when a person needs a break from house music. I’ll undoubtedly suffer from intense withdrawals in a week or so, but for now I’m enjoying our time apart. One of the tracks that have made the transition easy for me has been Math Bishop’s latest remix. He takes Blondfire’s rock infused original “Where The Kids Are” and makes it a happy sounding delight. I’m not a huge fan of indie, but I just can’t stop listening to this track.

Pop | Stafford Brothers – Hello ft. Lil Wayne & Christina Milian (Pleather Remix)
Posted by Jess on February 11, 2013
In stark contrast to the original version of the track, Pleather comes through with a unique and smooth take on Stafford Brothers’s Cash Money single “Hello”. Switching gears from the original, the remix feels more like an 80s love ballad than a club anthem. In my opinion, the production fits the vocals of Christina Milian and Lil Wayne even better than the original. The track becomes available on Beatport on the 14th, but you can download it today for free! Make sure you become a fan of Pleather on Facebook to stay up on future releases.
